I'm booked to attend both meetings on Wednesday 10th. I shall also likely attend the AGM and the other direct.uk round table, immediately afterwards, on 22nd.

I'm not sure whether those involved in the secondary market (e.g. Drop catchers) are fully aware of how the proposals for the registrar agreement changes might affect the overall pool of available domain names dropping each day, should registrars be allowed to take control of expired *.uk domain names. Everyone happy about that?

thanks for posting I was only registered for the afternoon but have added the morning session but it depends on trains getting there early!

I wonder if Nominet would be kind enough to pick up the bill for a stay at the nearby hotel?! Looked to be £300+ a night. I'm taking the train in and shall "land" at around 9am. Taxi to the venue.

Sorry guys, there's no way I can get to this, give them some grief for me!

Can't make any of these sessions this time round - all the best!

I'll be at both sessions on the 10th but I have to run for a train about 30s after the afternoon session ends - stuff to do back in Cambridge in the evening.

The new registrar agreement is going to change the way people here do business - it won't be until the pool of expired names drys up and everyone is having to pay a premium through auctions until they wake up to it - by then it will be too late!
